    Hi everybody,

        I had an earlier version of perl installed on my Win98
    machine and I could never get Perldoc to work. I figured
    something was misconfigured, so I didn't worry about it
    until I installed a newer version of perl. And guess what,
    Perldoc still doesn't work, even after a completely clean
    install of the new version. I get "bad command or file name"
    every time I try to use it. If I type 'perdoc' I get the help screen
    deatailing how to use it, but if I type 'perldoc perldoc' I get
    the error message as above. Any idea why this is happening?

    Thanks!

    Rich
